Music - Year 1

Welcome to our music unit on responding to music!

Your task, if you choose to accept it, is to

share music with your family

Talk with a family member about music.

1. Why do people make music?

2. Where do people make music?

Where have you heard music?

Choose a song to sing to your family.

Song title: _________________________________________________________________

How did you go?

I used my singing voice, not my talking voice

Draw

Make

Talk

Keep the Beat

Can you sing and perform the beat at the same time? Remember, the beat stays the same,

but the rhythm changes with the words!

Try it!

Sing The Incy Wincy Spider (Prep) or The Ning Nang Nong (Grade 1) and keep the beat in

different ways:

Clap

Tap your legs

Step on the spot

Walk on the beat

Play the beat on an instrument

Think of other ways to keep the beat on your body

Use your toys to keep the beat – tap a teddy, tap two toys together, or use your own

idea.

Choose a piece of music. Keep the beat somewhere on your body while you listen to it.

Circle how your performance went. Discuss your performance with a family member.

Did they agree or disagree with you?

Song title:

I tapped the beat somewhere on my body

I kept in time (I didn’t go too fast or too slow)

I listened carefully to hear the beat in the music

Now ask a family member to keep the beat while they listen to some music!

How did they go?

The Incy Wincy spider went up

the water spout,

Down came the rain and washed

the spider out!

Out came the sunshine and dried

up all the rain,

So the Incy Wincy spider went up

the spout again.

On the Ning Nang Nong where the Cows go Bong! and the monkeys all say BOO!

There's the Nong Nang Ning where the trees go Ping! And the tea pots jibber

jabber joo.

Oh on the Nong Ning Nang where the mice go Clang! and you just can't catch 'em

when they do!

So its Ning Nang Nong, cows go Bong! Nong Nang Ning, the trees go ping! Nong

Ning Nang, the mice go Clang

What a noisy place to belong! Cause it’s the Ning Nang Ning Nang Nong!

Here are some other ways you and your family

can enjoy music.

Choose some activities that you’d like to try. Colour in the box after you have done it. Can

you get four in a row?

Have fun!

Play a freeze game (musical statues)

with different styles of music. Try jazz,

heavy metal, opera…

Teach a rhyme or song to someone in

your family.

Learn a song from a family member.

Lip-sync along with your favourite song

(use a brush for your microphone!)

Have a family disco!

Ask everyone to dress up!

Popping is a kind of dance where people

move like robots. Create your own

popping sequence.

Make up new words to a song you already know.

Dance with some props. Use scarves,

balls, hoops, ribbons, toys…

Make a drum kit from kitchen pots,

pans and containers.

Draw what you hear.

Put some music on and away you go!

Play “Guess that Tune”.

Hum a song for others to guess the

title.

Move to the music - dance and prance to any music that has different tempos

(fast/slow).

Set up and play “Pass the Parcel”.

Challenge: Choose a piece of

classical music for the game. Find out the composer’s name.

Make a maraca (shaker) or a few maracas that use

different materials and make different

sounds.

Lay down, relax and listen to some

beautiful music. Tell someone what you

thought about while it was playing.

Finger tutting is where people dance

using only their fingers and hands. Make up your own

sequence.

Mr Dooner hopes you and your family have a wonderful time exploring music together!

This song will help you wash

your hands carefully:

Health – Year 1 and 2 Students explore safe and unsafe situations so that they understand their responsibility in staying safe. They examine the safety

clues that can be used in situations and will explore the emotions they feel in response to safe and unsafe situations. Students

consider different aspects of sun safety and how they can promote their health, safety and wellbeing.

Week 1 – Staying Safe

Today you will be going to the beach. Draw 6 things do you need to pack for a day at the beach to

keep you safe?

Week 2 – Feeling Unsafe

Here are 3 places that could be unsafe. Talk to your parent about what you could do to stay safe in

these places.

SHOP KITCHEN ROAD

PE – Prep to Year 2 This term, students participate in tagging games which incorporate the fundamental movement skills of dodging and running.

They experiment with movement skills and test alternatives to solve movement challenges. They demonstrate positive ways to

interact with others.

Week 1 and 2 Rotations

Complete each activity for 5 minutes

Activity 1 – Running

Play tag games with a family member or run between two places. Try different movements in the

game such as galloping, skipping, crawling, bear walking.

Activity 2 - Jumping

Stand behind a line and see how far you can jump. See if you can jump further when you use your

arms.

Activity 3 – Throwing

Use a ball or scrunched up paper to throw into a target - a washing basket or bucket is ideal. Can

you move further away and still get the ball in the basket?

Activity 4 – Skipping

Use a skipping rope (or pretend rope) to practise forward and backward skipping.

Activity 5 - Ball Games

Week 1 - Use a ball to play catching games like piggy in the middle.

Week 2 – Use a ball to play kicking games like soccer (shoot for a goal)

While learning at home, keep up as much physical activity as possible. Dancing, running,

walking, scooting, riding, climbing, rolling, bowling, jumping, throwing, catching, kicking,

bouncing, skipping. Make up your own games and create your own obstacle courses.

Have fun with movement!

I can’t wait to see you when you get back and to hear what you have been up to!
